“Don’t move.”

Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and pressed Shangguan Ruoxue. Then, a wisp of his divine sense extended out. As expected, a black shadow suddenly appeared under the night sky. That person wore a battle robe and could not be seen clearly. However, the aura on his body was indeed the aura of the Saint realm he had felt that day.

Shangguan Ruoxue’s expression was also shocked, but she quickly calmed down. Although her cultivation was sealed, her vigilance was still there. At this moment, she could naturally feel this cold killing intent. For some reason, she had a feeling that the other party was definitely not here to save her.

“Let’s go.”

Xiao Chen didn’t say anything else. He pulled Shangguan Ruoxue and flew out. However, he didn’t go far. The cold killing intent behind him had already approached.

Leng Yue was silent, her killing intent dense!

The figure behind him finally appeared. Xiao Chen twisted his wrist and his five fingers instantly grabbed onto Shangguan Ruoxue’s throat. He said coldly, “If Your Excellency takes another step closer, then help her collect her corpse.”

Shangguan Ruoxue felt a chill run down her spine. Her entire body trembled slightly, as if she had just woken up from a dream. No matter what happened to him these past few days, she was still only a hostage. It was at this moment that she suddenly realized her identity as a hostage.

However, in the night, the black figure did not stop. Even the murderous aura on his body did not diminish. He continued to approach step by step.

Shangguan Ruoxue suddenly felt a chill behind her back. This person … indeed, not only did he not come to save her, but he did not care about her life at all …

“Hand over your things. Tonight, I’ll let you die a little more happily …”

A cold voice finally came from under the battle robe. Shangguan Ruoxue trembled slightly. This voice was …

At this moment, she tried her best to see the face under the battle robe, but the night was too dark for her to see clearly, and the cold voice just now could not tell who it was.

“I repeat, if you don’t want anything to happen to her, immediately retreat, otherwise …”

Xiao Chen’s voice was similarly cold. Before he could finish his words, he used his five fingers to clamp onto Shangguan Ruoxue’s throat. Shangguan Ruoxue let out a muffled snort. For some reason, the killing intent she felt did not come from the person beside her who was threatening her. Instead, it came from the black shadow that was hidden in the darkness and could not be seen.

The black shadow was still slowly approaching. Under the battle robe, an ice-cold voice sounded once again, “If my guess is correct, the sword you used that day should no longer be able to display the power of that day tonight …”

Her voice grew colder and colder. Shangguan Ruoxue also trembled slightly. She subconsciously turned to look at Xiao Chen. No wonder he wanted to hold her hostage. It turned out that the sword he used that day could not display such power again …

At this moment, Xiao Chen saw that the black figure was getting closer and closer. He didn’t care about Shangguan Ruoxue’s life or death at all, and there wasn’t any noise nearby. Now, Xiao Chen was sure that there weren’t any Northern Alliance people nearby. If there were, he would have kidnapped Shangguan Ruoxue and the Northern Alliance people would definitely appear.

He was holding Shangguan Ruoxue hostage in front of the black-robed man. His purpose was not to threaten the black-robed man, but to make sure that there were no Northern Alliance people nearby. Now, it seemed that there were indeed no Northern Alliance people nearby.

At this moment, there was only this black-robed person. Even if this person’s cultivation was not low, what could he do with this person? Don’t forget, he still has the Golden Crow Foot in his hand. He just doesn’t want to waste it on this person for nothing.

“Hmph …”

Right at this moment, a cold snort suddenly came from under the black robe. Immediately after, a black hand seal suddenly grabbed over. Xiao Chen’s divine sense moved, “Gui Yunshan!”

“Gui Yunshan is here!”

In the void, Gui Yunshan’s terrifying soul silhouette suddenly appeared. With a “boom” sound, it blocked the black hand seal that was attacking from midair. For a moment, the earth nearby shook endlessly.

“This, this is …”

Seeing such a terrifying dead soul, Shangguan Ruoxue was also shocked. This was a soul subduing technique. Could it be that he really was someone from Heaven’s Beyond?

In the void, Gui Yunshan’s ten zhang soul shadow was extremely terrifying. Black gas continuously seeped out, and his eyes were flickering with blood light. When he taught people to look at it, they felt fear in their hearts.

Gui Yunshan’s strength was already extremely strong when he was alive, but now, under the ancient forbidden technique, Samsara Forbidden, he had become an immortal soul general, and his soul power would continue to increase.

“Oh? Soul Imperial Technique …”

If an ordinary person saw such a terrifying soul shadow, their faces would definitely reveal shock. However, the black-robed man’s voice was still cold, as if he wasn’t surprised at all.

Xiao Chen looked at him with a cold and indifferent gaze. Before, he might have been a little scared when he didn’t see this person, but now that he saw the real person, he realized that the other person seemed to be nothing more than this. He said indifferently, “If I had cultivated for hundreds of years like you, and if it were me chasing after you, you would probably have long since disappeared.”

At this point, Xiao Chen pointed at the endless night-shrouded mountain range in front of him and continued, “There is no owner’s land ahead. If you want Mirage Sea Liu-Li, then why don’t you follow and give it a try?”

As soon as he finished speaking, he pressed his palm on Shangguan Ruoxue’s shoulder and instantly unfolded Ling Xian Step. He took her towards the ownerless land in front of him and disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye.

…

Two hours later, at the end of the morning breeze and the moon, there was a bone-piercing chill in the mountains. Under the cover of night, the mountains were connected, seemingly boundless. At the same time, there was a cold chill. Further forward, there was no owner’s land.

“Let’s go.”

Xiao Chen didn’t think too much about it. He brought Shangguan Ruoxue into the mountain range. When he arrived at the ownerless land, the cold wind around him blew and gave off an indescribable sense of foreboding. From afar, there was an indescribable rustling sound. Something had drilled into the ground. It sounded horrifying.

But now, Shangguan Ruoxue still hadn’t regained her senses. The words that Xiao Chen had said to the black-robed man earlier seemed to ring in her mind, “If I had cultivated for hundreds of years like you, and if I were to chase after you, you would probably have long since lost your bones …”

Shangguan Ruoxue finally understood why she could be so calm when facing someone with a higher cultivation than herself, and even say such words.

The person in front of him was definitely not just terrifying in terms of cultivation. Just the fact that he was able to retreat from the Four Alliances Temple that day alone was something that Chu Qingyu would never be able to achieve …

“There are quite a few taboos in the Ownerless Land. It will not be easy for that old man, Chu Yuanqing, to catch up.”

Right at this moment, Xiao Chen looked at the numerous mountain shadows in front of him and suddenly spoke. Shangguan Ruoxue regained her senses and looked up at him. She was stunned and said, “Did you know that person was Chu Yuanqing just now?”

“It can’t be Chu Fengyang, right?”

Xiao Chen glanced at her. As soon as he finished speaking, he pointed at her chest with his fingers and extracted a dozen strands of life and death black gas from her body.

Shangguan Ruoxue immediately let out a muffled snort, and at this instant, she felt that the disappearing cultivation power was continuously returning.

“You’re finally willing to unseal me.”

Shangguan Ruoxue frowned slightly. She did not seem to be “grateful” to him for unsealing her seal. Instead, she complained in a somewhat resentful tone, complaining that he had just unsealed the seal for her.

Xiao Chen said indifferently, “The Ownerless Land is full of dangers. I didn’t expect that you would become a burden to me … Also, next time you feel wronged, if you want to cry, don’t cry so loudly. Otherwise, in this Ownerless Land, it’s hard to guarantee that you won’t attract anything strange …”

“You …”

Hearing him mention what happened just now, Shangguan Ruoxue was both angry and embarrassed. Her face was flushed red. She thought to herself, if he hadn’t sealed her cultivation and starved her all the way, how could she have shed tears of grievance? She had never suffered such grievances since childhood.

Xiao Chen looked at her current appearance and suddenly said, “Oh right, I know someone. She is also from a famous family like you. However, the difference is that no matter how much she carries, she will not feel wronged and will not reveal it. Of course, the most important thing is that she will never have tears …” After saying that, he turned around and walked forward.

Shangguan Ruoxue was still stunned at the back. It took a while for her to regain her senses and she said angrily, “Then do you mean that I am inferior to her?”

Xiao Chen stopped and turned his head slightly. “Miss Shangguan, if you continue shouting like this, I think even if you don’t attract Chu Yuanqing from behind, you will still attract the exotic beasts in the mountain.”

Hearing this, Shangguan Ruoxue’s body trembled slightly. She subconsciously looked around and then slowly walked up. She snorted softly, “Now that you have left the territory of the Northern Alliance, according to the agreement, you still won’t let me go back.”

Xiao Chen said indifferently, “If I let you go at this time, I wonder how many more people the Chu Clan will send … So, I have no choice but to wronge Miss Shangguan and accompany you down to Ghost Cry City.”

Hearing this, Shangguan Ruoxue was slightly stunned, but then she remembered that the reason he held her hostage was not just because he wanted to evacuate from the Northern Alliance. More importantly, he wanted to use his father’s hand to restrain the Chu Clan …

As long as he was still in his hands, his father would definitely stop the people from the Chu Clan from chasing after him because he cared about his own life. Furthermore, he had previously held him hostage in front of Chu Yuanqing, and he was also making sure that there were people sent by his father nearby. What a scheming man …

“I see …”

After thinking it through, Shangguan Ruoxue bit his lips in anger. He thought to himself that what he had said before was all to scare him. He wouldn’t hurt himself at all. However, his father didn’t know that his father was worried that he would hurt him, so he was still helping him stop the Chu Clan’s people in Mirage Sea. This person’s heart was so deep that it was truly hateful.

However, there was one thing that made her feel chilled. That person just now was Chu Yuanqing, Chu Qingyu’s grandfather, but he was wholeheartedly focused on the glass of Mirage Sea, not caring about his own life in the slightest …

…

At the same time, in the Asura Sea, not only had the matter of Xiao Chen causing a commotion in the Four Alliances Temple spread throughout Mirage Sea, but the Asura Sea had also long known about it.

Inside the hall, the Asura King frowned deeply. Now that he knew what was going on, he wasn’t worried that Xiao Chen wouldn’t return the Asura’s Heart. Instead, he was worried that once Xiao Chen fell into the hands of the Chu Clan, he wouldn’t be able to retrieve the Asura’s Heart.

Even if Xiao Chen did not fall into the hands of the Chu Clan, as long as he encountered danger elsewhere, the Asura’s Heart would also be in danger of losing. Therefore, he had to think of a way to not let Xiao Chen fall into the hands of the Chu Clan.
